Gift Card Goodness!

Today's OoTD post is brought to you by Hubster Mcgee! Yes, Ben bought me a gift card to Fabric Depot for my birthday back in December and I went the other week with my lovely friend Nicole to spend it. I brought my 40% off a cut of fabric coupon so I to find a great deal. As soon as we reached my favorite section, activewear, I knew it must be mine! Stretch crushed velvet in a deep red with cream polka dots. It was like fabric cream dream. Done and done, it was mine. I managed to get 3 yards for 23 dollars using my coupon and with my $20 dollar gift card I only spent $3 of my own dollars.

Once I got home I looked through my pattern folders for the perfect way to use this fabric. It screamed 90's to me so the only possible answer was a babydoll dress. So yesterday when I had a whole free day to myself, I spent 6 straight hours working on it while watching Spaced, Misfits and Sherlock. This dress is infused with british comedic energy.

So here is the final product! I am rather proud of it and can't wait to wear it out!

You're so foxy! I love this dress and I love that you were watching all that when you were making it, lol! Well done for getting your dots straight, I keep looking at that fabric and thinking it must be a bit of a mission to work with? Great job :D x
